Jamie Skelly |

Kathleen Higl |
|
My name is Jamie
Skelly and I am an LPN.
I am a Unit Manager in Training on the Rehab
and I am studying for my RN. I have been
with Hennis Care Centre of Bolivar for four
years. I live in Beach City with my husband
Eric and our two sons, Dakota, 11, and
Braxton, 6.
I enjoy my job
because I know that our "team"
makes a difference for the better, every day,
in peoples’ lives-physically, mentally,
emotionally and psychologically. I have
never wanted to be anything but a nurse.
I love helping people to increase or
maintain as much independence as possible.
To work in a skilled long term care facility,
I feel you must have compassion, sympathy
and good writing skills. My advice to a new
caregiver would be to treat every resident
as if they were your mother or father.
I don’t have one
specific favorite memory.
My family has made lots of wonderful
memories. My outstanding life experience
was graduating from LPN school and now
to be working towards my RN degree.
When I’m not at work or school, all my
energy and time goes to my family.
My favorite quote
is "It is what it is". I
sometimes need to remind myself that
there are situations or people that I can’t
change (It is what it is), but I can change
how I respond to those situations or people.
If I could change one thing in the world I
would change the way that people treat
each other. The world would be a much
better place if we were just kinder to each
other.

My name is Kathleen Higl, I am a Certified
Occupational Therapy Assistant. I have worked with
Hennis Care Centre ~ Bolivar for the past six years. I
currently live right in Bolivar. I was born in Cleveland
and grew up in Strongsville, where I met my husband, Ben, while
attending high school. Ben and I have three children;
two daughters, Lauren, age 20, a recent graduate of
Baldwin Wallace College, Olivia, age 16, a junior at Tusky Valley
High School, and a 12-year old son, Sam, a student
at Tusky Valley Middle School.
I really enjoy meeting new patients and residents at
Hennis. Everyone has a story to tell. It is so
interesting and ever changing. In my 30s I chose to work
in Occupational Therapy because I decided I wanted to be
in a profession where I felt I was doing something good for people
on a one-on-one basis. I think it is important to be a
little selfless when working in a health care facility.
It can be demanding and requires patience. A good piece
of advice I would have for a health care worker is that the
patient/resident is the boss. We work for them.
I have a lot of memories throughout my life
but my most recent favorite was my family’s trip to Niagara Falls
last summer. An old favorite is fishing with my dad on
the edge of the Rocky River. Graduating from college, at
the age of 35, with my husband, children, parents, and friends
attending was a great outstanding life experience for me.
I couldn’t believe I did it!
I like to spend my spare time cleaning up after my
kids, just kidding! I spend a lot of time being a
spectator at my kids’ sporting events. I
also like to kayak and bike with my family and LOVE to
cook. I like to say "What goes around comes around," so
I always try to be careful what I sent out there.
One thing I would like to do in my lifetime is
travel to Prague, Czechoslovakia and Budapest, Hungary with my
family while traveling down the Danube River, after I win the
lottery!

Ruby Mayo
STNA ~ Dover
|
|
|
|
My name is Ruby Mayo. I have worked as an STNA for
over a year now. Currently living in Strasburg, Ohio, I am originally
from the Philippines. I am happily married to Todd Mayo, and we are
blessed with two boys; Ryan is 3 years old, and Ian is 4 months.
What I enjoy about my job
is that I can give my understanding, care, patience, and love. Plus, I
get to work with dedicated, caring, jolly and friendly co-workers. What
motivated me to enter this line of work is my experience when I was a
kid and almost lost my life. The care and the love I received from the
nursing staff made me realize how important their role is in the life of
their patients. To be a good worker in a care facility, a person should
have the passion, the TLC (tender, loving and caring attitude) and
skills in promoting health and wellness.
For those that are new in this job, I advise you to
always carry your smile because it sparks one’s heart, maintain
cleanliness, and lastly, reach out, bless your resident with your caring
and loving touch. Let them know and feel that you can be a friend that
is willing to listen to their concerns and help provide their needs.
Talking about a favorite
memory…I have too many to mention. I once saw heaven in my dream, times
spent with family and friends, my wedding, immigration to the US, birth
of my kids, my first job which is at Hennis Care Centre and many more.
Finishing college is my
favorite outstanding life experience. Thanks to my parents! I look
forward to furthering my ambition to furnish my requirements for RN.
Some of my favorite
activities are singing, dancing, watching movies, and spending time with
my family, which includes communicating with my parents, sisters and
brothers in the Philippines. My husband and I like outdoor activities
like fishing, camping and site seeing. We also enjoy our freshwater
aquariums.
“Live life to the fullest”
and “Thank God for everything” are the two quotes I remind myself of.
Having God in my life makes me stronger in facing life’s challenges. If
there is one thing in the world I can do, it would be promoting unity,
peace and love.
